Referee
Scott Duncan will take charge of his third-ever Pools game tonight – and the previous two occasions have both ended in 2-1 wins at Victoria Park.

He was the man in the middle for our crucial 2-1 success over Morecambe in April 2014 which secured our Football League status, while he was also on the whistle for a victory over Leyton Orient at The Vic in February 2013.

So far this season he has refereed five games with his most recent coming last Tuesday when he was the man in the middle for Ipswich Town’s 4-1 Capital One Cup win at Doncaster Rovers.

Ticket Information
Tickets for the game are just £10 for adults and £5 for concessions – they will be available from the Victoria Park Ticket Office or on the turnstiles prior to kick-off.

Competition Rules
Johnstone's Paint Trophy rules stipulate that managers must name at least six of the eleven players who featured in the previous game, or six of the players who have made the most appearances during the current campaign.

If the tie is level at ninety minutes, then it will be settled directly by a penalty shootout without the need for extra time.
